Insights from one of our artists, George Bowles

Pewter Pitcher, Knife, and Bread by George Bowles

George Bowles studied painting and drawing at the Bougie Studio in Minneapolis from 1996 to 2000. He has exhibited in several galleries. Two of his portraits and one of his still life have been finalists in The Artist's Magazine annual Art Competitions, from a competitive field of 11,000 to 13,000. Another still life made him the magazine's Artist of the Month (April - May, 2005). On the strength of yet another still life, he was a winner in the "Over Sixty" national competition sponsored by The Artist's Magazine. He won first place in the Potomac River Regional Art Show three consecutive years (2009-2011), as well as the People's Choice award in 2009.
